Oh no, not again! Just when you thought The Red Chord was going to keep a stable line-up, it appears there's been another drummer change. According to Blabbermouth, Lambgoat and all sorts of other reliable sources, the group has enlisted Kevin Talley (ex-Chimaira, Misery Index) to sit behind the kit during their upcoming tour with Throwdown & The Black Dahlia Murder.
Members of the group said, "We're all very excited to perform with Kevin. We've known him for a long time and it's about time we wound up jamming together. We're excited to see how it all goes."
There has been no official word as to Talley's status with the group. In the meantime, the group has requested that drummers interested in trying out for the permanent position must send a video tape with the following:
Video tape yourself performing the tracks Nihilist, Dreaming in Dog Years, Fixation on Plastics & Black Santa. We are looking for the songs to be played as close to exact as possible. The video must be taken in a way that both your hands and feet are visible. If you can't see both in the video, just run through the songs twice. Once with the camera pointed at your feet and once at your hands. We have a soft spot for drummers that beat the crap out of their kit, so if you're a tapper, drink your milk and man it up!
Applicants must be willing to tour for upwards of 300 shows each year. You must also have a valid US passport, your own gear and a willingness to get to Mass & potentially relocate to the Mass/NH area if need be. If you have substance abuse problems, don't bother applying. If you have a rock star attitude, don't bother applying. If you are looking to go on the road, be respectful and have a good time and you happen to have exceptional drum abilities, we want to meet you!
